I’m working with a lot of different ideas and concepts here but basically this is my art doll version of African power figures – especially Nkisi and Bocia figures.
Her deformities are based on neurofibromatosis.
Her right arm (the little one) is antique German bisque: the rest of the figure is hand-made/hand-sculpted by me in fabric, Magic Sculpt and PaperClay.
Additive material includes fabric, fiber, beads and antique doll parts.
Power Figure Doll Sculpture
Handmade, OOAK art doll. 12 inches tall.
